What this cable is and who it serves

The Tripp Lite N201-002-GY is a Category 6 patch cable built for Gigabit Ethernet links up to 1 Gbps. Its snagless moulded boots protect the RJ45 latch during frequent plug cycles. It suits installers and home users who need a short, reliable copper run between a switch, router or wall jack and a desktop, laptop or network appliance.

Behaviour on a continuous link

The four-pair PVC construction is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and meets IEC 802.3ab requirements, so signal integrity holds steady during sustained 1 Gbps throughput. Reduced cross-talk and return loss keep packet loss low on long transfers or streaming sessions. The snagless design prevents latch breakage that would otherwise cause intermittent disconnects under daily handling.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that a two-foot reach spans the distance between your two RJ45 ports without tension. Ensure both endpoints use standard eight-position modular jacks compatible with Cat 6 wiring. The grey jacket offers no plenum rating, so check local fire codes if the cable will run through air-handling spaces.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the 2 ft Cat6 cable draw when running all day?

The passive cable draws no power and produces no measurable heat during continuous use.

What devices must I already own for the RJ45 male connectors to work?

You need two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports such as a router, switch, PC or NAS.

Will the 550 MHz Cat6 cable work alongside my older Cat5e patch panel and 1 Gbps switch?

Yes, it is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 links and supports 1 Gbps speeds on legacy hardware.
